You know, my wife is a nurse. I am the one at home with our twins most of the time.
You are to be applauded then. That doesn't mean that your own family configuration is ideal or optimal. The man has always been intended to be the head of the household, the breadwinner, the protector and provider. Nobody has said that is an absolute standard that must apply under all circumstances, but it is the PREFERRED standard, and that was, and should be yet today, the American Way.
She is the bread winner. I work part time at a radio station and im working to finish my degree.
When you get your degree and get out into the workforce, will your wife continue working, or come home to take care of the kids? I only ask because if you're both at some point capable of working, you'll have to make that decision whether or not to farm the kids out to some day care center, or one of you stays home to raise 'em right.
Thankfully, we dont follow that twisted line of thinking.
It's not twisted, except to liberals, leftists and those who have always sought to tear down and tear apart the American family.
So where do you stand on it?

I am not certain what exactly the future will bring. It will all depend on finances. You know that. It is very hard to survive on one income in this economy. You run out of wiggle room. If I am ever in the position where I can spend more time with Krista and Claire, I would do that. I would work part time again. As long as we are financially stable.
and we would not leave them with just anybody. My sister in law is a babysitter.
I don’t think it would be right to ask my wife to give up a VERY VERY good job so I could go test some waters somewhere.
If I have to be the one to sacrafice, that is fine with me. She carried twins and worked very hard to get her degree. I know traditionally the man is supposed to be the leader of a family. Well, if we were a football team she would be the quarterback. and thats ok with me. times change.
